Pros and cons
- 70 mm PCD fits Simucube and most boutique bases with a matching quick release
- Carbon faceplate and hand-made grips feel premium
- Strong resale value
- Expensive for the control count
- Quick release and USB cable or wireless kit are not universal parts you get for free
Watch out: Quick-release hub and data connection depend on your base (Simucube 3 needs its Link QR or a 70 mm adapter); budget $100+ for the QR.
What it feels like
- Grip
- Weight
- Clickiness
- Reach
Alcantara or suede grip feels dry and secure in your hands.
Magnetic paddles give a short, crisp click with no play.
Solid metal and carbon body feels dense, more like a real GT wheel.
Feels like a hand-built racing-car wheel rather than a mass-produced gaming one.
What the GT Pro works with
- Attaches with the 70 mm bolt pattern (third-party quick release), so it fits bases that use the same system.
- With the right base it works on PC.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The Cube Controls GT Pro is an Italian-made GT-style wheel with a carbon-fiber and machined-aluminum body, magnetic shift paddles and optional clutch paddles. It was sold in several rim shapes (Round, Zero, Cube, Sport) and grip materials, and in USB or wireless versions. Cube Controls now lists the GT Pro V2 line instead, at roughly €940–1,100 before US import costs. That means the original GT Pro is mostly found as discounted or leftover stock. Check which generation you're buying before you pay.\n\nFor a first rig, this is a hard sell on value. A 70 mm universal pattern fits many quick releases, but Simagic and Asetek bases need their own adapters. Mainstream wheels from Moza, Fanatec and Simagic cost far less and have wider US availability. The GT Pro suits someone who already has a direct-drive base and wants a high-end, hand-built GT wheel. Because Cube Controls sells mainly through its own site and specialist dealers, expect shipping, duties and slower warranty handling. We haven't tested it hands-on, and the dataset's specs are unverified, so confirm the diameter and rim variant before ordering.
Questions buyers ask
Will it fit my wheelbase?
It uses a 3-bolt pattern with 70 mm PCD (the V2 also lists 1-inch). Many bases fit directly, but Simagic and Asetek need their own 70 mm adapters. Check your quick release first.
Is it USB or wireless?
Both are sold. The wired version connects over USB; the V2 line adds Bluetooth or Q-CONN cable, with a 1500 mAh battery rated at about 4 hours. Prices differ by version.
Is it the original GT Pro or the V2?
Cube Controls now lists GT Pro V2 models (Sport, Cube, Zero, Rubber, Reparto Corse). V2 has a redesigned shifter and backlit buttons. Confirm which generation a retailer is selling.
